In Exercises 15–35, solve each equation. Then state whether the equation is an identity, a conditional equation, or an inconsistent equation. 2x-5 = 7

Accepted Answer

Hello today we're going to be solving an equation and stating whether the equation is conditional or not. So the given equation is nine times a plus four equal to negative 13. We're going to go ahead and sulfur a and in order to do that, let's first start by subtracting forward both sides of this equation. Doing so is going to leave me with nine times a equal to -17. Now in order to isolate a all we're gonna do is divide both sides by nine and doing so is going to give me a equal to negative 17-9. This means that there is only one solution for this equation when there is only one solution. That means that this equation is going to be conditional. Now since this solution is negative 17/ and it's conditional. That means that the solution to this problem is going to be be so I hope this helps you understand what a conditional equation is. And I'll go ahead and see you all in the next video.
